"Sherry Alexandra
Stringfield"

Her first name coming from one of the more outspoken characters of a favorite book of her mother's and her middle name coming from her father's first name [being "Alexander"], Sherry feels that her name is slightly unoriginal on her parents' part. Of course, there's not a lot of people named "Sherry" in this world, so she thinks she'd better take the win. She prefers to be called "Sherry" for the most part [she'd love to know what other nickname you can think of for a name like "Sherry" without calling her anything to do with drinks], and hardly anyone refers to her as "Alexandra" or "Alex".

"Twenty One."

-Born on February 19th, 1989, Sherry's birth was planned to the minute. She was one of the few babies that was actually born on her predicted birth date. Her parents opted out of knowing what gender she was.

"We're getting
a bit ridiculous here,
don't you think?"

Her hair might be short, but that's about the only vaguely masculine feature that Sherry might have. Indeed, Sherry looks quite feminine, although she's not incredibly curvy. It's probably more of her build [which is severely lacking], along with her rather regal aura.

ＷＨＡＴ， ＣＡＮ'Ｔ ＹＯＵ ＴＥＬＬ ＷＩＴＨＯＵＴ ＡＳＫＩＮＧ？//----

"Not really
my thing."

She never really got into tattoos. Sherry feels like when she's older she'll regret having them or something, and anyway they're always easy to mess up. And when they're messed up they stay there, unless you pay more money to get them removed. And she'd hate to think what the pieces of colored skin would look when she's old and wrinkly. She has her ears pierced but almost never wears earrings [and even then she only does to keep her ears from healing].

"It's white and it's
short. What else can I say?"

Her hair is actually naturally white - blonde, much to the shock of many of her peers. A lot of time people think she dyed it or something, but she was born this way. Her parents were at a loss, that's for sure. They had no idea where the gene came from [on their part, her father had red hair and her mother brown]. A few years ago Sherry decided to cut most of her locks off because she was taking part in a new exercising regimen, and her hair always got in her way. Annoyed, she finally took some shears to it, and she's been loving the convenience and ease of having shorter hair ever since.

"I'd call them
gray."

Sherry's eyes are more of a very gray shade of blue. While they'll rarely reveal any prominent shade of blue, in the right light they'll actually look nearly colorless, or at the very least a very light gray. They're usually filled with a rather sarcastic look.

"I'm either
5'7'' or 5'8''. It's been
a while since my last
check up."

Standing at five feet and eight inches [5'8''], Sherry is a relatively tall girl, but that's about the only thing that's stunning about her. Her more impressive feature, she feels, are her longer legs, which probably are the main contributor to her height. Her mother is now about two [2] inches shorter than Sherry, although her father still stands at a daunting six foot five [6'5''].

"Well, I'm
probably going to get
punched in the face
if I say I'm fat -- which
I know I'm not -- but
I'm not exactly
ninety pounds, either."

Sherry is quite thin [looking rather unhealthily so for her height, some times], shoulders bony and sloping down from her long neck. While it may seem that Sherry is mal-nourished, in reality she eats like a pig. Those who know her will recount with some amusement her bottomless stomach and light-speed metabolism. Yet somehow she only weighs around 132 lbs. She tends to get cold easily, as she has absolutely no insulating fat on her. Sometimes Sherry considers eating McDonalds for a week without exercise to see if she would gain a huge amount of weight, just for kicks.

"I look kind
of like a vampire,
I think. Like, I don't
tan. I don't even know
what it is."

Sherry's got little appeal in terms of curvature, but she does have this regal presence that she gives off just by standing there. It's probably the hair. Or maybe the height. Or maybe just her attitude. In any case, from the get go it's clear she won't be easy to take advantage of.
She's got absolutely no muscle. What little stuff she has that's not skin is pretty much flab. She considers working out sometimes, but her laziness usually gets the better and she usually ends up eating a bag of chips, instead.
Her bone structure in the face isn't so bad. Her cheekbones are prominent, so it's not like her face is all flat and dull.
Her longest feature are her legs, which make up most of her height. Her arms are somewhat longer than they should be in proportion to her torso, but they're in such a way that they look aesthetically nicer and more elegant, not freakish and abnormal.
Her hands and feet are quite small, especially considering her height. The size of her hands especially frustrates Sherry, sometimes.

"Uh, I'm kind
of a jerk, to tell you the truth."

She's rude. She's abrasive. She's impatient. She's sarcastic. She's lazy. That's basically Sherry...at the surface. Indeed, when you first Sherry, she might seem nice enough. She knows her manners and how to act like a normal cordial person like anyone would, but in reality Sherry tends to be a bit more blunt and brutal about her speaking. As such, she'll come off very rude and will probably rub you the wrong way. In fact, she could probably find a different, nicer way to say something while still being blunt, but she finds that trying to think of this strategy takes up too much time and effort on her part. That's probably the impatience and laziness kicking in. You can bet that's she's hard to work with. Sherry doesn't take anything from anybody, though.

Sherry will almost never do anything that she doesn't have to do. She'd rather stay home and read. This is also true when friends ask to go out to see a movie or something. Being quite introverted, Sherry prefers to stay inside and now deal with people. It's not to say she's a sociopath, it's just that going into large public places wears her out after a while, while some others seem to gain energy from being in social areas. Thus, Sherry usually gets tired just thinking about going to a mall or a move theater, so she usually tries to opt out. She doesn't hate hanging out with friends. She loves talking to them, and loves them dearly. It's just that she'd rather go to someone's house and chat about stupid stuff than go out and deal with others while shopping for something Sherry doesn't need.

Once you get over the initial punch in the face that Sherry's personality is, you'll see that Sherry is quite a loyal, and when the chips are down the gloves come off. If there's one thing that Sherry hates more than work, it's loosing. Her pride is one of the few things that probably drives her to do anything, anymore, such as arguing when you do anything that offends her integrity or legitimacy. The one thing she cares about is having people know what her true personality is before they go and judge her, or else she feels their view is biased and incomplete. But she doesn't really convey this thought very well.

As you might've guessed, Sherry is rather intelligent, which probably expands her pride into arrogance. She's well read and knows a wide array of random pieces of information. Her mental math is nothing to sneeze at, and her vocabulary isn't too shabby, but you can't really say she excels in anything per se.

Sherry is very stubborn. Rarely will she ever give up on something or admit that she was wrong--again, because of her pride. It'll take a lot for Sherry to verbalize that she was wrong, although she'll probably know that she was wrong a long time before she says it if your logic makes sense to her. Otherwise, she'll attack you with everything she's got until you admit you're wrong. It's always a thrill a minute with Sherry, which is naturally frustrating, sometimes.

Sherry is, believe it or not, capable of an odd tender moment, occasionally. She'll bring in cookies. She'll volunteer for night shift. These treats are usually few and far between, and everyone usually looks at each other in skepticism and wonder if Sherry was drunk or high or something. Really, though, Sherry is just doing it because she feels like it.

Her independence is another large facet about her. Sherry dislikes doing things because she's required to. She prefers to make decisions and carry on with actions knowing that it was by her choice. Sherry doesn't like having responsibilities to anything, which is why she also is not in a relationship. She has always been afraid that people would tie her down and smother her, ask her to go out with then when she didn't feel like it, ask her for favors. The entire thing would've been too much trouble for Sherry. She didn't really see what the point was. She also dislikes clingy people, which probably derives from her independence. Sherry doesn't like owing people anything, and she doesn't like people always sticking around her. In the end, she wants to know that she could do anything and no one would follow and bother her in the end.

"Eh, I
wouldn't say that it's
very interesting,
to tell you the truth."

Sherry has lived a rather normal life. She had both of her parents and she had one baby sister born into the family when she was ten, so their age difference was quite pronounced. Sherry moved around about two times, living in three different states in the US in response to job opportunities for her dad and later for her mom. First they lived in Seattle, Washington, moved down to San Francisco, then made a large leap to the mainland, where they settled in Cleveland, Ohio. It was a large shock for Sherry, especially in the winter. She had only seen perhaps an inch of snow at most in her first home in Seattle, and she had moved from there when she was 6. By the time she had arrived to Cleveland she was 11.

Because her adolescent years were completely fulfilled in Cleveland, Sherry says that it's the town that she mostly grew up in. She feels that from 13 on is the time when teens are finding themselves, like the Mid-Life Crisis. She grew up as a loud and vitriolic student at an all-girl's private school (which may also have contributed to the lack of boyfriend, which Sherry never felt a specific need for). She did well and was at the better half of her class, as were her closest friends. All in all, she was quite satisfied with her life. She had nothing much to complain about, and while sometimes she did blow up over nothing like most teenagers did, Sherry didn't whine very much. Her parents stayed together and she went to a good school. Her family was in a stable middle-class rank. Sherry had a baby sister (which tended to be one of her complaints now and again).

"Uh, I'm not
really talented
in anything. I'm good at
a lot of stuff, but not
great."

Sherry has the knack to get the hang of almost anything she tries, but she's far from being the best at them. She can carry a tune, but she's often slightly off key. She can write a novel, but there are always some plot holes. She can draw a person, but there are always a few discrepancies. In reality, Sherry is quite talented in rote memorization, and she's a very fast typer. Sherry also has the talent of screaming quite loudly when she wants to.

Second_Choey, at your service ^^

I'm on almost everyday for at least an hour or two. If I know I'll be gone I'll most likely PM you, unless it's like catastrophic that RPs are the least of my worries. FYI, this is about as pretty as I'll ever get. XD

| Don't worry, Deffs. I'm cool with her. ^^ Thanks for looking out for me, though, bro. :3 |

{{ gosh. Infinity and Beyond, I'm so sorry. }}

[carrie dee.]

| Don't worry about it, hun. The 'picture with words' think in your form and the 'situations' thing were both my idea, but I've allowed other people to use them, so you might have picked them up elsewhere. I'm cool. |

L o o k s:: "Hmm let me think. Well, basicly I have brown hair, green eyes, a slim build,
and, apparently, a perfect smile. In detail... My hair is medium-thin, that's right in
between wavy and curly. It's 100% natural, no dyes, curling or straitening iron, and
not a lot of products. The most I do is brush it out. Umm, well my eyes are a mix of
three colors, dark green, like pine trees, a light, pale green, almost like dry grass,
and flecks of golden, that seem to sparkle when they catch the sunlight. I honestly
love my eye color. I have a slim build, with long legs and skinny arms. My legs are
pretty strong, so I'm pretty fast. I did a bit of track when I first got here, but I ended
up droppig out. Just not my thing.."

H e i g h t:: "I'm 5'6, so average. Not to tall, or to short. It's as simple as that."

W e i g h t:: "You're really going to ask me this? Ugh, fine. I weigh 119 lbs"

E y e C o l o r::"Green, but it's a bit more complicated than that."

H a i r C o l o r:: "Dark brown, 100% natural.

N a m e:: "Ava Patterson. Apparently it means "voice, sound" in Persian. I have a middle name, but I hate it, so for now, it's for me to know and for you to find out."

N i c k N a m e::"None, you can't really shorten Ava, unless you called me Av, or A, but I wouldn't ever respond to that, because frankly, it's stupid. If you can get me a non-stupid nick name, I will gladly respond to it."

G e n d e r::"Let me answer that question with a question. Are you an idiot? Clearly Iam a girl, or female, or lady, or whatever else you want to call it. It could not be more clear."

A g e::"I'm 18 years and 9 months.

S e x u a l i t y:: "I'm straight. Sorry ladies!"

T y p e O f R o m a n c e:: The Perfect Pair

B o y f r i e n d:: To be filled out

B i r t h d a y:: "July 14, 1995. Summer baby!!"

P e r s o n a l i t y:: Ava has been disappointed many times in her life, that it's now something she will avoid at any cost, for the most part anyway, making her quite stubborn. When something doesn't go her way, she will do all she can to reverse it. When she is told she isn't very good at something, she will work her very hardest to be the best, if not, she will definitely have improved greatly, unless it is for something she thinks is wrong,like what her father did. Then she will try her best to protest against them. While in most cases, her stubbornness can become quite annoying, other times, and can be quite handy, whether it's proving a point, helping someone in need, or just getting something done. Ava's past has been a hard one on her, so whenever it's mentioned, she can become sensitive and defensive. She hates thinking about her father, well, she doesn't exactly like calling him her father. She doesn't like it when people always talk about their happy families, for she feels sad about her small one. For a while after that, she isn't exactly in the best mood, and, like mentioned, will be quite sensitive to the things others will say and do. It's best others avoid the subject of her past completely.

H i s t o r y:: Ava was born in Denver,Colorado, in a small apartment with her mother. Her father had left her mother before she was born, so it was just them. They lived in a small loft apartment in the middle of the city. Since thats where they were, there were no schools in the area, so Ava was homeschooled. Even at age 6, you could tell she was advanced for her age, and that was good, since her mom was gone most of the time. She had a job as a deparment manager at a clothing store, so it didn'tpay enough for them tohave the luxury of a nice house and small work hours, so Ava's mom was gone alot. Since Ava was smart, she didn't need her mom to spend a lot oftim with her, to teach her things. She grew up independently, not having much of a childhood. By age nine, she was making hr own lunches, sometimes dinner. She was finewith it though. There weren't any kids in her area, so she has always been a bit solitary. Then, they moved.

Ava's mom was offered a better paying job across the country, so of course, she took it, and they moved. Her mom was now store manager at a much larger branch. Nearby her new apartment was a highschool, so since she was 16, thats when she started going. At first she was hesitant, since there would be so many peoplethere, but after a week, she began fitting right in. She loved all the people, the classes, the variety of it all. She began excelling at her classes, so she began taking more, and more advanced ones two. It was soon clear that she excelled most in the arts, drawing, dancing, writing, singing, music in general. But she was best at photography and painting. She would notice and capture the little details others wouldn't. She began revolving her life around that stuff, spending more and more time doing it. Now, we're basicly caught up.
